  • Version 4

The Handheld Power Tools Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out step-by-step processes for the safe operation of handheld power tools, helping to protect workers and improve workplace safety.

It covers the hazards (moving parts, noise, electricity, hazardous dust, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the precautions and operator training, the pre-operational inspection of the tool, the work environment, and the steps to operate the tool safely.

It also covers maintenance under lockout/tagout and the manufacturer’s instructions, and includes a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant to help identify and manage hazards.
